and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean"s
family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.
So Jean spends a lot of her time on QQ. She likes being anonymous (不知姓名的,名字不公开的), talking
to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and
has made a lot of friends who she contacts quite often.
Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and he lived in San Francisco.
David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance.
So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot the time. Of course,
they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking
young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and
small things to each other.
When Jean"s father told her that he was going on business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her
go with him, so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of
their favorite rock singer. But when Jean knocked on David"s door in San Francisco, she found that the
special friend she had written to was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim.

In 1901, the citizens of Colorado Springs in the USA decided to collect every day items (物品) and to
seal (密封) them in a steel box. The box was marked "To be opened after midnight, December 31st, AD
2000", and was stored in the Colorado College library.
One hundred years later, on the appointed (约定的) day, 300 people gathered to watch the opening of
the box. Many in the crowd were the descendants (后代) of people who had placed things inside the box.
When the box was opened after midnight, the contents (所容纳的东西) were in very good condition.
There were newspapers, photographs, diaries, name cards, family trees, books and dozens of letters,
including one written by Theodore Roosevelt, who became the president of the USA later that year. One
of Roosevelt"s friends lived in Colorado Springs at that time.
Many of the letters were addressed to their descendants. They describe (描述) the hopes that the people
of 1901 had for the people of the next century. At that time, Colorado Springs had just a few thousand
residents (居民). Now nearly half a million people live there.
Colorado College Library has scanned (扫描) the materials and put them on a website. Cecil Muller,
whose grandfather had placed a collection of post-cards in the box, said that the time capsule was a great
treasure. "This is a wonderful educational resource. We can learn so much about our history," he said. "I
never knew my grandfather, but not now I feel very close to him."
In April 2001, a committee filled the time capsule with items from modern Colorado Springs and resealed
it for another hundred years.
B.a machine for traveling through time.
C.a collection of items for people to look at in the future.
D.a collection of unwanted items.
B.December 31st, 2001.
C.January lst, 2000.

C.the President of the USA.
D.Cecil Muller"s grandfather.
B.the people who lived in the town.
C.the politics of the USA.
D.people"s hopes for the future.

Bill and Fred were students and they were friends. They didn"t have much money, so when it was time for their summer holidays, Bill said, "Let"s take our holidays in a trailer (旅行车). It"s cheaper than a hotel. I can borrow my father"s trailer." Fred was very happy, so they got into the trailer and began their holidays. They wanted to get up early the next day to go fishing, but they didn"t have an alarm clock. "That"s all right, Bill," said Fred. "I"ll put these small pieces of bread on the roof of the trailer tonight and they"ll wake us up in the morning." Bill was very surprised, but he didn"t say anything. Fred was right. As soon as it began to get light, small birds came down to eat the bread and their noise on the roof of the trailer woke Bill and Fred up quickly. | |||
